The Army psychiatrist suspected of killing 13 people at Fort Hood reportedly warned senior Army physicians in 2007 that the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars to avoid "adverse events."
According to The Washington Post, Major Nidal Malik Hasan was supposed to make a presentation on a medical topic during his senior year as a psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Medical Center.
Instead, Hasan lectured his supervisors and two dozen mental health staff members on Islam, homicide bombings and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting against other Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A source who attended the presentation told the paper, "It was really strange. The senior doctors looked really upset."
The Powerpoint, entitled, "The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military," consisted of 50 slides, according to a copy obtained by the Post.
"It's getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims," Hasan said in the presentation.
Under a slide titled "Comments," he wrote: "If Muslim groups can convince Muslims that they are fighting for God against injustices of the 'infidels'; ie: enemies of Islam, then Muslims can become a potent adversary ie: suicide bombing, etc." [sic]
The last bullet point on that page reads simply: "We love death more then [sic] you love life!"

What did the military chain of command (as well as the FBI and CIA) know and when did they know it?
The shredders are already working overtime at the Pentagon, Langley and the Hoover building, in spite of Rep. Hoekstra’s directive for these groups to preserve all documents.
We’ve been saying PC will be the death of us all didn’t realize how very serious the threat would be. Now our own military is playing the PC game to our country’s detriment.
Sounds like a mafioso warning a store owner that his store might accidentally catch fire if he doesn’t purchase some fire insurance from the mafia.
Shouldn’t the Commander in Chief be advised?
Oops, forgot; he’s a Muslim too.
‘There is not one shred of evidence’ stems from ‘we have shredded all the evidence’. Did the Klintons teach them well?
Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.
Logic has no place in islam.
Even after all of this information is out, what the hell are we doing about it? Not much by what I can see. Soldiers will still be afraid to come forward if they see someone similar on being called bigoted or some such nonsense.
God help us.
Indeed. From Obama to General Casey, the Libtard PC Brigade is running interference for the jihadists.
“Now?”
They’ve been doing this for a while now. Remember when the Pentagon lawyers nixed a bombing attack on Mullah Omar?
General George Patton would have Shot him!
Perhaps the time to think of "objections" to fighting a war is BEFORE YOU VOLUNTEER to serve in our Armed Forces. These people weren't drafted. They signed up knowing what the risks were therefore, there should be no such thing as a "conscientious objetor" in an all volunteer army.
Its like the Monty Python sketch were a recruit comes in to his general's office and requests discharge after one day of training. The general asks why and the recruit responds "It's dangerous out there! I mean, there's people with real guns and bombs!" Exasperated, the general asks why the recruit joined the military and the recruit responds: "For the water skiing!"
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
Recruits VOLUNTARILY sign this oath. Asking for exemptions afterwards is a violation of this oath. But then, Liberals don't do firm oaths or pledges what with their ethics and standards always changing with the direction of the wind.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Could the victims’ families sue the military pc wimps because they knew this jihad muslim terrorist was a deadly threat? They let it happen. Blood is on their hands. I’m sure there are other muslims everywhere who are waiting to kill and die.
What are you we Americans, that love our country, going to do about it
Without a second thought.
The guy is just a coward and a pussycat. He was afraid he’d die at war, even though that was his agreement when he signed up for the military paycheck. He’s the same as every objector; he wants the paycheck without the responsibility of earning it.
It just makes it worse that he’s a mohammadan terrorist to boot.
